Re: Gimp 2 - hexa colour bug on Windows ?

Does right now mean 2.10, or is that true for 2.8 as well? I am using
2.8 and can only find one colour picker, the one that takes colours from
the image.

There are two colour pickers available in 2.8. (At least true for 2.8.22
as in the Linux Mint repository)

Both are available from the Toolbox.

The first is accessible from the "Eye Dropper" button, which can only
select from the image.

The second is accessible from the overlapping Foreground/Background
colour tool. When you click on either of the foreground/background
rectangles a colour picker dialogue opens and that includes an eye
dropper that will select a colour to use for that rectangle anywhere on
the screen.

Re: Gimp 2 - hexa colour bug on Windows ?

I've tried with both colour pickers, and turned off colour management in
the options.

There are 2 differents results with the 2 pickers :x

With the picker inside the colour chooser popup :
After turning off the colour management, the needed #808080 becomes a
#818181 (no colour management), it was #7f7f7f before (with colour
management)

If I use the picker from the toolbar, it's ok, #808080 is #808080.
I don't understand why there's a difference between those 2 pickers :/

--->
I'm curious, and made another test.
In parallel, I'm using Affinity Photo+Designer, and created / exported
some grey+red pixels, then imported into Gimp.
Results are not always the same. A really little difference, as before.
Do have I to conclude there's a problem with the colour management on my
windows computer ?
